New moisture-resistant gasketing resin from Intertronics

Peter Swanson, MD of Intertronics, advises that “this new gasketing material can be dispensed into intricate and complex configurations with the benefit of in-line curing which allows for increased production speed, greater output, lower processing costs, and reduced inventories. DYMAX GA-111 is a one-part resin, requiring no mixing. It is low out-gassing, cures in seconds, and its viscosity allows for varying bead heights which will make it an exceptional advantage in so many of the UK’s technologically advanced manufacturing industries.”

DYMAX FIP gaskets cure completely in seconds even in 6mm thick beads. This removes the need for racking, stacking, waiting, and un-racking as required with traditional FIP gaskets. Light-curing FIP gaskets offer the ultimate in gasket design flexibility. Designed for flat flanges or wide shallow grooves, permanent FIP gaskets can eliminate the delay experienced with slow-curing resins as well as the design, inventory, and labour expense associated with pre-cut gaskets. These gaskets cure faster and deeper than UV silicone, and do not release corrosive chemical by-products upon cure.
